Bar graphs compare categorical data (information in categories).
There are three important parts of a bar graph:
1. The Title (This can tell you what question has been asked!)
2. The label on the bottom of the graph (called the X axis) and the side of the graph (the Y- Axis).
3. The scale (the numbers representing the totals)
One axis of the graph will include the scale, or numbers, to represent the totals. Both the X and Y-axis will have a label to define the categories, or information gathered. Can you figure out what is missing on these graphs? Can you look at information and make a bar graph that includes all 3 important parts?
